Durukti

Durukti is the sister and wife of the asura Kali in Hindu mythology.

Etymology

Durukti is derived from the Sanskrit roots दुर् : "bad" and उक्ति : "speech"; lit. ''bad or offensive speech.''

Durukti is the daughter of Krodha and Himsa. She begets a son named Bhaya and a daughter named Mrutyu. She is also the grandmother of a boy named Niraya and a girl named Yatana begotten by her children Bhaya and Mrutyu. Durukti and Kali belong to the lineage of Adharma, who grows up from the Malinapataka, a deadly dark and sinful affliction produced from Brahma's back at the time of creation. Durukti is the granddaughter of Lobha and Nikriti, great-granddaughter of Dambha and Maya, and great-great-granddaughter of Adharma and Mithya.
According to the Kalki Purana, Durukti dies shortly before Kali.
